,MEANS FOR COOLING STEREOTYPE-CASTING Boxes.

New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Coohng.

stereotype Casting Boxes, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates enerally to stereoty e-castingmolds, and as more particular rei ereirce to means for cooling the castingsurface ofthe cope.

The object of the invention is to improve the meansfor cooling the said casting-surface and the said invention comprises the hereinafter-described features of construction and combination of -p arts.

In the drawings, h

showing one form oft e invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on the line a; as of cope'by leading it through areservoir located be the casting-surface of the said cope, the walls of. the said. reservoir transinittiug' theheat of the casting-sui=face t'othewater before the said water enterstheupright water-space immediately adjacent to the casting.surface of the cope; This principle is conveniently embodied in the construction shown lll FlgS. 1 and 2, 1n whichl indicates "a cope stationarlly su ported in an n right position and compose of an outer shel 2-and an inner shell 3,.suitably fastened together. The outer shell forms an uprightv casting-surface 3, the plate beingcast between it and the movable drag 4.v The general construe tion of the casting-mold'is preferably similar to the one. shown and-claimed in'an applicatlon filed by me onthe 3d'day ofJuly, 1901,

erialNo.66,975, thesaidigeneral structure f 'not being claimediir thepresent application. Theinner and' outer shells when fas- 'tened together form an upright water-sp ace 5 immediately, adj acent: to the casting+surface'of the'co e. Aththeilowenendof the cope, below t1e-cast1ngsurfaoe, 1s a reservoir 6, communicatingwith the upright water-space; The inlet 7leads to: the said reservon'irom any suitable source of supply Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 20,1903. Serial No. 162.358.

of water. The inner shell is provided with seat 8, extending into the uprightwater-space and provided with one or more upright. fipes 9, communicating at the upper end wit the upright water-space and at the lowerfend with the outlet 10. The water entersa't the inlet and flows into the reservoir, Where the extreme chill of the cold water is taken off.

It then rises in the upright water-space and I descends through the pipes 9 and outthrough the outlet.

Amodification is shown in Fig. 3 in which the upright stationary cope 11 1s cored out, so as to forman uprigl't water-space 12 immediately adjacent to the casting-surface 13. In this instance the water enters at the inlet 14, flowing into the reservoir 15, located, as in the other mstance', below the casting-surface of the cope, communicating with the Waterspace'12 and out through the outlet 16 at the up er end of the cope.-

n' both of these constructions the water upon entering the reservoir becomes sufficiently heated by contacting with the walls of the same so as not to chill the casting-surface, the lower end of which would be par-- ticul'arly exposed, and still enables the Water toreach the water-space adjacent to the casting-surfaceof the cope before it becomes so ,heated as to beineffeotive' i Some features of construction shown in the resent application are not claimed herein, ut are claimed in a sister application filed on June 20, 1903, Serial No. 162,359.

Having thus described my invention, what I claimisl 1. In a stereotype-casting mold, an upright stationary cope, an upright castingsurface on the saidcope, a Water-inlet, a Wat'er-outlet, an upright water-space immedie at'ely adjacent tokthesaid casting-surface,

and a water-reservoir in the co e below the said castingsurface whose-wal s will transmit' the heat from the casting-surface to the water so that the latter is preheated before coming in contact with the said casting-surace.

2+ Inastereotype-casting mold, the com-- bination withanupright stationary cope, of an upright casting-surface on the said'cope,a

wat'erdnlet,-a"water-outlet, an upright water'-space immediatel Y adjacent to tie cast' m -surface, and a Water-reservoir 1n the co e be ow" the said castmg 'surface where. t 1e chill of'the cold water is taken ofi previous to entering the upright water-space.

right stationary cope, an upright castingsurface. on the said cope,- an inclined ponringgate above the said eastin surface, a waterreservoir. located below t e casting-surface of the cope, a water-inlet for the said reservoir, an upright water-space connected with the said reservoir immediately adjacent to the casting-surface, an inclined water-space terminating the said upright water-space at its upper end and immediately adjacent to the inclined pouringate, and an outlet connected with the said inclined water-space.

Signed at New York this 11th day of June, 1903.
